Matariki Poem

This is my poem that I created to share to the class about Matariki. I tried to make it rhyme. I hope you enjoy.

 The stars in the night are a wonderful sight. 

Look hard and you can see 

9 stars shining as bright as can be.

They’re pretty and they shine, but when you see the sun, they'll disappear into thin air.

There is a group you’ll call a troupe. 

They are the stars of Matariki.

I say you can look and look, 

until daytime takes them away.

Look up in the sky, what do you see?

see the 9 sisters of Matariki. 

Their appearance in the sky means the days are getting longer. 

The sun is coming back and the frost is getting stronger. 

All clustered close, and you may not hear, matariki sing 

of the sun and the Maori new year. 

Living peacefully in silence.

Remembering the ones we have lost.

We celebrate this time of the year with our loved ones.

Rugby Tournament

Kakahi Orcas take the pitch. Our plan was that I score as many tries possible because girls get two points.  I managed to score seven tries and take our team to the finals. Roll out the carpet roll out the mats come on yellow knock them flat, here us shout here us roar where the house you can't ignore, KAKAHI.

Overall we got 31 points. Karoro Gulls were our competitors in the finals. Cory  sprinted down the field and bam our first try was scored. Momo started running and dodging through the madness and I was the last one to get him, everyone was shouting at me dive on him, get the tag, but unfortunately I wasn't fast enough.
